Debate:Why is there something rather than nothing? (view source)
Revision as of 23:47, September 30, 2009
, 23:47, September 30, 2009→Yes
By addressing the state of "nothing" we are causing something so there will always be something rather than nothing. In the same way one can try to "clear your head" but this fails because in the act of clearing one's head one is filling it with the task of clearing the head/the mind. In this way we must always have something rather than nothing. Even in a vaccuum, the absence of everything is something. [[Bealecr]] 15:21, 30 April 2009

:This seems to be a topic of duelisms. Cold is the absence of heat. Absolute Zero is the absence of movement. Can't we just agree that "nothing" is a theory of the mind, thus making it something again?
:And in a random bit from a while ago, [http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/01/21/ebayer_sells_nothing/ someone attempted to sell "absolutely nothing" on eBay] [[User:EricaS|EricaS]] 19:47, 30 September 2009 (EDT)
